Does anybody have a Blackhawk with a 7.5" barrel? I'm wondering if that's just too long to be practical. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
What do you mean by 'practical'?
I've had this 7 1/2" 45 Colt longer than almost any of my guns. I bought it in 1975. Never carried it much, it has pretty much always been a range toy.
When I first started in Cowboy Action shooting I was shooting this 7 1/2" 'original model' Vaquero, chambered for 45 Colt. Carried it all day at matches. Not concealed of course.
7 1/2" Uberti Cattleman, 45 Colt. Carried it all day in CAS matches too.
7 1/2" 2nd Gen Colt, 45 Colt. It rides all day in the same holster the Cattleman used to ride in. This one comes to almost all the matches.
Hope to be carrying and shooting this 38-40 1st Gen Bisely Colt sometime next year.
Hope to be doing the same with this 2nd Gen Colt, 45 Colt, next year too.
